Operating Manual

Film thickness object: If a film thickness object has been assigned to the current
assortment and film thickness objects have been defined for the formulation, you can
select a film thickness object. Ink Formulation automatically calculates the conversion
factor and adjusts the recipe accordingly.
22.2.6 Calculate all combinations
When this command box is activated, all possible combinations of the selected colors are
calculated during formulation.
If the assortment includes very many colors but you still want to include them all in the
recipe calculation, you can deactivate the command box. The number of calculated
recipes is then drastically reduced by an intelligent algorithm. However, the omission
of a feasible recipe cannot be excluded.
22.2.7 Lab formulation
When this check box is activated, during the process of formulating a basic recipe,
the Lab entry button is displayed in the Basic recipe window, and this can be used to
define this target color as a lab value.
22.2.8 Color selection before recipe calculation
When this check box is activated, then during the formulation process the Colorant
selection window will be displayed, where you can select the colors for the formulation.
If the check box is not activated, then the recipe is formulated directly using
all colors in the assortment.
